Marc Chandler – Why Would The US Revalue Its Gold?
Marc Chandler, Managing Partner at Bannockburn Global ForEx and Editor of Marc To Market joins us to discuss the potential revaluation of US gold holdings, marking them to their current market value, up from the current book value of just $42 an ounce.
We explore how this revaluation could impact the US Treasury’s balance sheet by boosting its assets significantly. We also compare the actual effect on the US’s overall financial health given the current debt levels. The conversation touches on the possibility of returning to a gold standard and examines how this could potentially lower long-term interest rates.
Additionally, we discuss the broader economic implications, such as the influence on inflation, market confidence, and the potential to create a sovereign wealth fund. Other topics include the current state of the gold market in light of global events, the fluctuating rates, and speculation on whether revalued gold would lead to a strategic reserve for the US or impact its geopolitical positioning.
Gold looks very overbought and Fridays smash down is a warning sign that powers to be does not want Silver to rise much. I won’t be surprised if silver trades in $27-33 range for rest of 2025.
Cali, you could be correct—-gold could go quiescent for some time but it’s not the end of the long term bull in my opinion.

TARP Money did not go to US banks!
Start at 97:00 …
1.1 Trillion – [inaudible]
986 Billion – Nomura Bank
1.45 Trillion – HSBC
997 Billion – Barclays …
9 Trillion Total.
Housing values in Washington DC collapse 36.5% in one week. What did they expect and now that the pendulum has started to swing the other way this erosion of house prices everywhere is going to carry on for 10 years or more. It will happen in Ottawa Canada as well simply because this economy can’t support huge numbers of high paying (with benefits) government jobs. Anywhere where the economy is supported by the auto industry in Canada will also feel the brunt of this downturn if the tariffs are real. If The Donald doesn’t follow through on his stated policies, he will face untold criticism and ridicule. But he is no stranger to either. DT
$50 million for condoms to Gaza??? Methinks most of such money was getting laundered back into the pockets of politicians and bureaucrats, to support the housing bubble in the D.C. area.
All the KICK BACK ARTIST …… are bailing out…… no money …. no kickbacks ….. no income…
SCAM has been exposed….
THE DC CORPORATION, which has existed since 1871….. is coming to a close….
The 14th Amendment will soon be opened up…. IMO

Possible Gold Based Money
32150.7 Troy ounces per Metric ton
USA Gold Reserves = 8133.46 metric tons
32150.7 * 8133.46 = 261496432.422 Troy ounces
Gold Reserve Base = $784,489,297,266 ($3000 per Troy ounce)
Nearly $8 Trillion when ‘Fractional Reserve Gold’ (10:1) is applied. ‘Fractional Reserve Gold’ here used is akin to a futures contract with no expiration. The Earth’s unmined Gold is extended collateral, and more than enough to fulfill the needs of economic expansion and contraction. BDC
BDC, it’s all nice and polite to say that USA Gold Reserves =8,133.46 tons when nobody knows how much Gold they actually have because they haven’t allowed a full audit since 1953. LOL! If The World goes back to a gold standard America will too and that means a proper audit, until then the invisible hands have been guarding America’s gold supply. LOL! DT
I found this to be a very informative perspective on SWFs (Sovereign Wealth Funds), written by a person at the Cato Institute (The Cato Institute is an American libertarian think tank) as an op-ed piece on “The Hill” website.
Several excerpts that reflect the content, context, and tone of the article:
o “Unlike some other countries with successful SWFs that the president seems to admire — such as Norway, Singapore and the Gulf states — the United States does not have surplus revenue to invest. Instead, it is drowning in debt, with an estimated $80 trillion in net-present-value unfunded obligations.”
o ” … it [SWF] would invite political interference in capital markets, opening the door to cronyism, favoritism and inefficiency. Given Washington’s track record, does anyone believe that a government-run investment fund would be free from political meddling?
o “A U.S. sovereign wealth fund is not just a bad idea; it is an illusion. America’s strength lies in its dynamic private sector, not government-managed wealth schemes. The administration should focus on fixing its balance sheet, not pretending to be a hedge fund”

Did you notice all of a sudden there’s a barrage of media articles and Youtube economists peddling revaluation of US gold holdings. What changed? Wonder if there are collective forces working for Wallstreet banks to mislead gullible retail traders. This is pure speculation without any credible evidence from US treasury.
